I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.

These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell.................... 205,742,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco........... 144,332,000 barrels

Exxon /Mobil............. 130,082,000 barrels

Marathon/Speedway........ 117,740,000 barrels

Amoco..................... 62,231,000 barrels

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $55-$60 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo..................... 0 barrels

Sunoco.................... 0 barrels

Conoco.................... 0 barrels

Sinclair.................. 0 barrels

BP/Phillips............... 0 barrels

Hess...................... 0 barrels

ARC0...................... 0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. Choose carefully where you fill up.
